South African speedster Dale Steyn declared that he will be fit and raring to go in the next six weeks. He was injured during the first Test in Cape Town as he suffered a bruised ankle. After undergoing a few scans he was finally ruled out of the ongoing Test series against India.

Speaking to Sony ESPN, Steyn said, “I’m on the crutches because I’ve got a no bearing weight on the leg for a while, at least two weeks, which makes it seem worse than it actually is. But it’s right underneath the heel, so it’s extremely sore to stand on or step on. And as you know, as fast bowlers we land on that front foot pretty often. So I’m going to have to give it time to recover – six weeks, and I’ll be up and running again.”

Speaking of his injury, Steyn said, “Yeah, that (getting ready for the Australia series) is the plan. Next two weeks, nothing on my feet. Stay off my feet. After that, I’ll start walking around, and in about four weeks, I’ll start running and then look to start practicing again in six weeks. That’s a long time. I spent a whole year out, so when someone says to me six weeks, it doesn’t sound too bad.”
